Why We Ride Official Theatrical Poster
Why We Ride is a story about who we are. Individuals with a desire to dream, discover, and explore. Seeking a life outside our daily confinements and sharing those moments together. ItÂ’s a story about the journey, not the destination.

Motorcycles represent the milestones of our lives. From a kid’s dream come true, to a retiree’s return to freedom. From a family riding together on the sand dunes, to hundreds of choppers carving through the canyons — the bond is the same. It’s about the passion of the riders and the soul of their machines.

Your senses will heighten as the world rushes in, your heart will beat to the pulse of the engine, your mind will race and set you free. Once you let a motorcycle into your life, it will change you forever.

    the answer to the addiction to motorcycles
    I do ride, yet I was very skeptic of this movie when a friend proposed a screening of the DVD at his place, I mean don't get me wrong any motorcycle movie to a rider is welcome, but we grew a bit wary of recent motorcycle movies composed of video clips of high jumps and silly interviews... but this one was different, it brought me shivers in my bones, butterflies in my stomach and tears to my eyes then, made me realize how fortunate I am to have found my true passion the minute I bought my first motorcycle 10 years ago, along with the joy and pride of belonging to the purest and most genuine fraternities out there! while other still searching... if you ride, you must watch it, if you don't, please give it a try, it might get across the answers to all non believers to their question, why do we ride?! the two wheel business is more elaborate, popular, and keep growing, despite its factual limitations and dangers! I truly think this movie explain why! I gave it a 9 because it did not try to elaborate the idea from current professional perspective (current moto GP and motocross champions) and why they stick to it despite the enormous pressure (believe me the money is just half the answer) but again, maybe the director wanted us to see it through the eyes of the ordinaries like most of us, so we can relate more to it!
